DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

The present invention will hereinafter be described in detail with reference to exemplary embodiments. To make the technical problems to be solved, technical solutions and beneficial effects of present disclosure more apparent, the present disclosure is described in further detail together with the figures and the embodiments. It should be understood the specific embodiments described hereby are only to explain this disclosure, not intended to limit this disclosure.

FIG. 1 is the structure diagram of a camera lens LA related to one embodiment of the invention. The camera lens LA is composed of six piece lenses which are arranged sequentially from the object side to the imaging surface including a first lens L1, a second lens L2, a third lens L3, a fourth lens L4, a fifth lens L5 and a sixth lens L6. A glass plate GF is arranged between the sixth lens L6 and the imaging surface. And a glass cover or an optical filter having the function of filtering IR can be taken as the glass plate GF. Moreover, it shall be fine if no glass plate GF is arranged between the sixth lens L6 and the imaging surface.

The first lens L1 has positive refractive power; the second lens L2 has negative refractive power; the third lens L3 has negative refractive power; the fourth lens L4 has positive refractive power; the fifth lens L5 has negative refractive power, the sixth lens has negative refractive power. Moreover, the surfaces of the six piece lenses should be designed as the aspheric shape preferably in order to correct the aberration well.

A camera lens is characterized in that the camera lens meets following conditions (1)˜(2): 0.35≤f1/f≤0.50  (1) 1.50≤(R5+R6)/(R5−R6)≤3.00  (2)

-   -   where,

-   f: overall focal distance of the camera lens;

-   f1: focal distance of the first lens;

-   R5: curvature radius of the third lens' object side surface;

-   R6: curvature radius of the third lens' image side surface.

The positive refractive power of the first lens L1 is specified in the condition (1). It is useful for development of small sized trend when the numerical range exceeds the lower limit specified in the condition (1); however, the aberration cannot be corrected easily because the positive refractive power of the first lens L1 becomes too strong; on the contrary, when the numerical range exceeds the upper limit specified, the development of small sized trend cannot be implemented easily because the refractive power of the first lens L1 becomes too weak.

Therefore, numerical range of condition (1) should be set within the numerical range of the following condition (1-A) preferably, 0.42f1/f≤0.46  (1-A)

The shape of the third lens L3 is specified in the condition (2). When it is outside the range of condition (2), 2ω≤50°, it is hard to have excellent optical properties.

Therefore, numerical range of condition (2) should be set within the numerical range of the following condition (2-A) preferably, 1.90≤(R5+R6)/(R5−R6)≤2.80  (2-A)

The second lens L2 has negative refractive power and meets the following condition (3). −1.00f2/f≤−0.50  (3) where,

-   f: overall focal distance of the camera lens; -   f2: focal distance of the second lens.

Negative refractive power of the second lens L2 is specified in the condition (3). When it is outside the range of condition (3), 2ω≤50°, correction of chromatic aberration on axle and outside axle cannot be implemented easily.

Therefore, numerical range of condition (3) should be set within the numerical range of the following condition (3-A) preferably, −0.80≤f2/f≤−0.68  (3-A)

The first lens L1 has positive refractive power and meets the following condition (4). −0.90≤(R1+R2)/(R1−R2)≤−0.60  (4) where,

R1: curvature radius of the first lens' object side surface;

R2: curvature radius of the first lens' image side surface.

The shape of the first lens L1 is specified in the condition (4). When it is outside the range of condition (4), 2ω≤50°, development of small sized trend cannot be implemented easily.

Therefore, numerical range of condition (4) should be set within the numerical range of the following condition (4-A) preferably, −0.85≤(R1+R2)/(R1−R2)≤−0.70  (4-A)

The fourth lens L4 has positive refractive power and meets the following condition (5). −1.00≤(R7+R8)/(R7−R8)≤−0.10  (5) where,

-   R7: curvature radius of the fourth lens' object side surface; -   R8: curvature radius of the fourth lens' image side surface.

The shape of the fourth lens L4 is specified in the condition (5). When it is outside the range of condition (5), 2ω≤50°, it is hard to have excellent optical properties.

Therefore, numerical range of condition (5) should be set within the numerical range of the following condition (5-A) preferably, −0.50≤(R7+R8)/(R7−R8)≤−0.30  (5-A)

Because six piece lenses of camera Lens LA all have the stated formation and meet all the conditions, so it is possible to produce an small sized and 2ω≤50° narrow angle camera lens with excellent optical properties.
